What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

im thinking of having a beer just to use the bottle openers. hehe

 

The bottle opener has come in handy on several occasions. Primarily at TW meet ups.

 

Exactly! I was going to do a fuel/water gauge like I have for my Air Tank but they are like $150. Well at least the marine style one I was looking at. For that price I can get this solo system and it comes with the gauge and external measuring system that just gets placed on the outside of my tank. Which is perfect because I don’t have access to putting anything internal with no access on top of my tank.

 

$30 KUS CPWR-BS, 240-33 Ohm, Electric Water Level Gauge, 12V / 24V, 2" (52mm) with Backlight

is half the price and pretty much idiot proof. Just seal the hole where you mount it and I am sure it would be fine. I am not sure how that external sensor system you reference works.

Edit: it seems to even come with a gasket. I would probably run a silicone bead around everything just to make sure,

 

Better.. IMO

 

I’ll check it out. Thanks

 

Anytime, I look forward to seeing your install. I'm still trying to figure out where/how I want to mount my stuff up. I'm thinking opposite the gas tank for balance, but that also means getting close to the exhaust. I suppose that might solve my heating problem though....

 

There is a thread on here... if you Google "Tacoma Gasshole" it will take you right there..... there is a Paypal link to order

 

Congrats on getting the stiffeners in, but I was admiring your plastic totes/cases. Who makes those?

 

Yea so far it beats the heck out of the jeep on comfort, mpg, and cargo. Haven’t wheeled it yet but I prob won’t take it some of the places I took the jeep.

Side note, where in the high desert are you? I live in Ventura but commute to Mojave 2 days a week for work.

 

I work in Victorville and live in Hesperia..................

 

Got a screw in my duratrac.......yum

Can't Tell what size though.

 

Plano. Just some cheap ones with wheels on one end

 

Did the battery swap. Much more peace of mind with over 1000 amps (heavy at 53 pounds).

 

Sure looks and functions like them. I know they made a sealed version. Mine aren't sealed (could do it next dyi with. Some foam tape)

 

Where did you get the grill? Ebay? Thanks!

 

Omg guys passed by my local dealership and had to stop with my friend to check out this unicorn!!

 

Have some assembling to do tonight and install tomorrow
